I know It's a bit early but I like to be prepared just incase It's something I have to make from scratch or organise I need to think of a birthday present for my friend who has it all... I've done numerous things over the years made his favourite cake for his birthday, purchased art, books, travel stuff and I'm running out of ideas. You can tell he has Virgo and Leo influence in his chart when you meet him. He loves homemade, thoughtful things but also appreciates the finer things too. But I were to make him something I can't really think of what I'd make apart from his birthday cake which I do most years and I want to do something different... I was wondering if you could suggest some ideas going by his natal chart? The birth time is unknown also. IP: Logged |

Scrapbook. If you have been friends for a long time...and really know him. I think that would be a thoughtful gift for someone who has everything. Highlighting their value in pictures and words and appealing to their leo Venus. It would be a very personal gift and you would have enough time to put something together If you start now.

Maybe you could make a pop up card with a cheesy lien and give him a book on his current interests that you figured out via discussing things with him.. you could buy him an online subscription to an occult site. A cool one is Gaia.com its spirituality and all things hidden from the media! 8th house would eat that up. There’s also citizenshearing.org which is a private channel for ufo video discussions. That’s a membership fee also. You could.. buy them tickets to a concert and go with them, or maybe fly to another state to travel somewhere fun together. Maybe go sky diving with them ??!!!? You could bake them a cake or make them their favorite meal if it’s anbudget thing. IP: Logged |

You should make him personalized award in frame. Lots of glorification, but smart funnyIP: Logged |

Love your ideas so far @llewscam - Scrapbook and nostalgia appeals to my cancer moon and I know that he loves photos and memories to! I'm trying to think of a way to put a unique spin on it as we are both pretty uranian also So I thought what about a scrapbook but as a big poster spelling something out like 'friendship' and then when you look a lot closer at the detail its just tiny photos of us ( almost pixel like but a tad bigger so u can see them ) so when you stand back it says the word but looking closer its tons of photos the only thing is I think ' friendship ' or ' love ' or something may be a bit cheesey so I dunno what the word would be IP: Logged |

Now that is a cool idea! I've used a free service through photomosiacs.com before. It's really cool. You can select photos from your phone, fb, Instagram, etc and make a mosiac print, canvas, and so on with them. I haven't seen the option to do what you are thinking with a word, but I love that idea! If you go that route, maybe you can just use his name or year of birth as the word choice. But check out that site. I started with a photo of my daughters face as the source, and then selected photos of her throughout the years that I have taken. The program organizes the photos so they complement the original photo. I think you will like it!
